HBO's 12-part miniseries serves as a biopic for NASA's glory days: it's inception in the late 1950s through the final lunar mission in 1972. Occasionally dragging, it's perhaps not right for today's binge-viewing audiences used to watching an entire season or series on Netflix or HBO Go in a single sitting, but for those willing to take the time, it's most likely the most ambitious and detailed examination of NASA ever put to film.
